Toby Keith Proceeds to Party with ACM Win

Toby Keith’s video for “Red Solo Cup” won the ACM Video of the Year award last night and he revealed that when he first started shooting the video and he asked two of the song’s writers, The Warren Brothers, to be in it, they thought it was so irreverent and crazy and different that it wasn’t a real video. Toby says “they thought we were doing an episode of Punk’d” (MTV’s celebrity hidden camera prank show). They were going ‘at what point are you gonna tell us this is fake.’ … They really were hesitant and reluctant about buying into the thing until we got about halfway into the video and they were like, ‘Oh, this is the real deal!’ Then they were like, ‘Cool! High five!’ Then they were all excited.”
